Abstract
Radiation oncology and medical physics.
Highlights
Dose verification for complex treatment techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), SRS/stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and brachytherapy is crucial
Difficulties and problems associated with target localization may arise from inter- and intracranial variations in patient setup and anatomy, including shapes and volumes of treatment target and surrounding normal tissues
Most radiation therapy treatment planning systems incorporate three-dimensional anatomy information attained by computed tomography (CT) images for registration
Summary
Dose verification for complex treatment techniques such as IMRT, SRS/SBRT, and brachytherapy is crucial. A considerable volume of normal tissues receives radiation dose along with the tumor. Imageguided radiation therapy (IGRT) procedures employ imaging technology to help patient setup and target localization before and during treatment.
